Secretos y verdades en los textos de Clara Janés- Secrets and truths in the texts of Clara Janés
Series:
Edited By Nadia Mékouar-Hertzberg
Siguiendo estos planteamientos, ahondándolos y matizándolos, los artículos exploran la obra de Clara Janés en su variedad y complejidad. El conjunto cuenta con dos textos teóricos y poéticos de la propia autora que abren unas perspectivas imprescindibles, luminosas y emocionantes no sólo sobre la dialéctica verdades/secretos sino también sobre los profundos resortes de la creación.
This volume focuses on the texts of the Spanish author Clara Janés. The collection grows out of a meeting between European and North American researchers, all of them specialists in Janés’s extensive work. The unifying theme of this book is the dialectic between truths and secrets that permeates this author’s work. In her numerous publications, secrets are not an element that the author tries to share, but a «bifid» mechanism that reveals true meaning. The secret becomes a textual dimension, and it keeps intact both its revealing potential as well as other promises of indefinite truths.
Following these approaches, the articles explore the works of Clara Janés in their variety and complexity. In addition, the collection has two theoretical and poetic texts by Clara Janés. These texts are indispensable to open exciting perspectives not only on the dialectic about truths and secrets but also on Janés’s creative depth.
